It seems to me that I need to streamline the build of these small acoustic/electric guitars. They take too long to make otherwise, and thus not making them "good for business" so to speak.
I decided to take a step back and work on tooling. Not to say I'm going to ever become a production builder, but if I can pump out two guitars a month via these "cheats" then it's irresponsible not to do so.
Got lucky, I have to say. I was able to score a lot of mdf from one of the houses here in the farm. It's getting remodeled and an old piece of furniture was on the list to get rid off. Now it will live a good life as tooling for my shop.
In case you are wondering, yes, MDF is expensive down here. Wood is cheap, but plywood, mdf and it's cousins can kill your purse like no other.
I hope to be showing the boxes in the process of being closed this week, but alas, this apparent slowdown was needed.
